Trump doesn't even treat americans as human being. Imagine how he feels about non americans.
Are U.F.O.s real?
Grow a set sailor, sorry about your Mom tho
It’s not for everyone. Don’t do it just for the title.
If you can’t be used you’re useless to us soldier!
How is a sweet little boy a marine ? 😂
Wondered how long it would take fake news to get there first sailor to start bleating, so predictable. Pay them off for a juicy story then leave them to the sharks after command fires them for breach of work rules
Ladyboys of Pattaya welcomes all Sailors from USS Lincoln !!!
Wow, us army deployments 12+ months each, not counting train ups, gone from your families for 18+ months at a time, getting rocketed daily and shot at daily, running convoys protecting KBR trucks, doing route reconnaissance convoys daily, IEDs, protecting visiting congress people and senators and other visitors who wanted to see the Red Zone until the bullets started flying. But we signed up for it, no one forced you to sign your name on that paper. You did not complain about it when you were a home collecting that check. Try this, think about WWII, and how hard that was and those Americans that fought through what they endured, NOW THAT WAS HARD, not on a ship in the middle of the sea or ocean. Think about Vietnam,having to crawl in a hole as a tunnel rat, NOW THAT WAS HARD, NOT ON A SHIP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA OR OCEAN THAT DID NOT TAKE A SINGLE ROUND TO THE SHIP. Now was there the possibility, well yes there is always a chance, but as a serviceman you know there is a chance you may not make it, you make peace with death knowing you are a good person fighting for the person standing on your right and left. Honor your commitment, give it 100% of your effort and do not reenlist when your contract is up if you cannot handle it. Just know that you are only 6 and a 1/2 of the population that serves in the military. The rest of the population depends on you. Know that your service is a honorable thing, do not fall for the BS the news tries to portray. Yes service to your country is hard, not everyone can handle it or do it. Thank you for your service, quit complaining, if you need help, get it when you get home. Combat sucks, it is not easy but if not you then who? I seen a video on Utube of a sailor videoing a dirty latrine/head, how about you get in there and clean it instead of videoing it. The things you endure make you strong not weaker! PTSD is real, dealing with it is real, but sympathy from the anti government people is not the answer! If you need help, reach out to people that care about you not the news clowns trying to make money off of your pain, they do not give two sheets about you!

The Iraq and the Iran Wars were completely unnecessary! The cost of lives is terrible! The $$$$ trillions spent could have provided healthcare for all!
How disgusting to dismiss their valid feelings. Assisting in genocide is emotionally degrading.
28 years combat Marine first deployment Mogadishu faught in both Iraq wars Afghanistan Libya few other places in the sand box chasing down islamist terrorists. Ive been on a couple flattops spent months sleeping in sand and vacant buildings being shot at dodging IED. shitting in buckets. Eating MRE every day not taking showers fore what seems like months. Some peaple just aren't made fore military life. When you sighn on the dotted line. You pretty well know you're not going to be going on vacation. Men and women have mental breakdowns its going to happen. You all are acting like this is first time this has happened. I see aliut of peaple in the comments bashing the government over this. Out of all my years of service I've never seen a president and there administration ever crucified as much as this one fore everything. These same reporters and panels was just criticizing them fore lobster and steak. Now because they hear from some sailor that they are not on Walt Disney cruz they are criticizing the gop. Seems like a double standard. And it really doesn't matter. I was told this a long time ago. You can't please all the peaple all the time. Just some of the peaple some of the time. But this administration it doesn't matter you all just want Trump to fail. Even at the expense of are own country country. It's sad you would want you're own country to fail. You're hate fore Trump is stronger then the love fore you're own country. That sad
It’s 100% because of retaliation.
Here’s an idea let’s stop the war instantly hand over the Trump regime to Iran for prosecution 👍

C0mmunist News Network digging for dirt!
อร่อยแซบนัว
What a brave soldier. One who came forward for help in a culture that frowns on it. You were caught in a bad situation. Condolences on the passing of your mother🙏❤️
MAGA don’t care about you guys, stop being dumb!🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️
Librard sailor
I've been saying it for years, the military should not be offering huge sign up bonuses. It attracts the wrong people!
When Obama fought in Afghanistan for 8 years, he lost 1760 soldiers for no reason. <br>And Dems never complained a word.
The sad betrayal of trying to be a team player, but not being supported by your team. Adds insult and cynicism to injury.
我有一个问题想请问:美国大兵停靠泰国,是不是为了嫖娼,解决五千美国大兵,发泄憋了两百多天的性欲而选择停靠在泰国,因为泰国政府在前两天已经在清理街边的妓女了。美国航母官兵似乎与泰国政府有种心照不宣的感觉,
Snowflake lesbian gay men he is
Mental Weakness is on overy Steet in USA !! Imagine that in Gov boat ? hmmm
Guadalcanal was NOTHING compared to what he went through. Was he awarded a purple heart and bronze star?
Hes worse than a FNG!!!!
When I got back from NAM they called ME a BABY KILLER. Cuz a soldier caused a MISCARRIAGE. How things changed. Dylan was RIGHT
Yawn
It's obvious that America cannot sustain these wars...two in which the Biden administration brought fourth to America, a total waste of lives... terrible....
Well he must be SHELL SHOCKED because of all the MORTAR and ARTILLERY shelling he went through. Hand to hand COMBAT does affect a HARDENED SOLDIERS mental health. After 3 tours in Vietnam i can relate
I will always be grateful for being stationed on a DDG.
i did 12 months in front combat as an Infantry .... you guys are spoiled
I feel this dude would fold under pressure.
America’s Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters and loved ones must feel awfully secure with the knowledge Pete Hegseth is at the helm…😢
Look at the wear and tear on the hull of the Lincoln. Imagine the wear and tear on the psyche of the sailors aboard.
Donold J6 Trump loves "Y.M.C.A." ...but how does he like "In The Navy" ? 🤪
FIRE WOLF.
So he was a guy who was not a good fit for a shipboard life. Yawn. And yes, I do think after listening to him that he was one of the noloads.<br>Mental health meds says it all....
Cursed Ship
My great grandfather served aboard the USS Enterprise in the Pacific during ww2. These guys back then served and did what they had to do, we don't have a hope in hell or winning any wars with these guys whining about mental health.
US military is obsolete. Its all about drones now.
This dude just didnt want to be in the military...
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
On a high school football team, this guy would have been cut.<br>Maybe all boot camps should resemble Navy Seal BUDS training. Identify and eliminate the weak. I only want the bravest and toughest defending the greatest nation.
Dude cant hack it even before he deploys...Why is CNN talking to him?
Brother - don’t listen to the noise. As a retired military officer with 21+ years, Good On You! And hopefully seeing your courage will give those in need the hand you’re offering.
This dude fell off the top bunk a few times.
When was the last time the US military actually defended the United States? It sounds like every major deployment in recent years is chasing for oil. Iran, Venezuela, Iraq… we went to Iraq after 9/11 even though the terrorists were in Afghanistan and Pakistan. You’re never going an ex-high level military officer to tell you the truth about whether the military is doing the right… it risks too many lucrative consulting gigs.
Om retired NAVY, you signed up so man up and do tour job.
Pls pls pls take care of your mental health if you having problems pls 🙏 go get help mental health is more serious then a heart attack in my opinion...
Pamela Brown Rocks 😻
Das boot was no fun either, but the bar scene before deployment much fun.
The first guy who joined the navy,,,,,, "I was surrounded by steel and surrounded by 5000 sailors". YOU JOINED THE NAVY DUDE ! YOU THINK THE SHIPS ARE MADE FROM LOVELY-SMELLING CEDAR? Suck it up. You joined the military, not Club Med.
…and our disgraceful commander in chief, colonel bone spurs, has the audacity to say their deployment was “not nearly long enough”! FDJT! 😡

And that’s why when they come back they are so screwed up and there are no mental health services available
Typical fake news as usual are just scraping the bottom of the barrel bullshit that happens all the time you can find this on any base anywhere in the United States or overseas I know guys that used to shit in her pants trying to get out it didn’t work !
Our brains need to be cared for just as much as our other organs. We don't look down on people who have an infection. We encourage and hope them to get treatment so it doesn't spread and even cause death. There is absolutely no difference between that and reaching out for mental health care. Why are we allowing this stigma to go on? Instead of blaming patients, we should treat any retaliation against mental health needs as a crime and penalize anyone who mistreats patients for asking for help.
Every army must be dynamic, so the war with Iran helps to maintain this dynamic
We need to fundamentally change our culture of stigma around mental health treatment specificallt for pilots and people in safety-intensive roles like this sailor's nuclear power role. If a pilot needs treatment for mental health of any kind, they almost immidiately lose their wings. For a pilot, this is like a death sentance. Becoming a pilot, period, but especially professionally, is a lifetime accomplishment, really, and a major part of your identity, due to every pilot's sheer passion for flying. So, they will 100% of the time avoid seeking any mental health treatment for depression, etc. Even if they badly need it, becaue that means losing their livelihood and the one thing they care about more than almost anything. So instead, we end up with a bunch of pilots who might have debilitating depression, but are going completely untreated so they don't lose their wings. Any pilot reading this will understand what I mean when I say, a pilot would rather die than willingly lose their wings.
I want to know if the soldiers who passed away families are taken care of.
If a pilot was suffering from what Trump is suffering from, he'd be grounded. Trump has nuclear codes.
Those Marines didn't need a night in Bangkok. <br><br>They need to go HOME to their families!
I'd be depressed too.
What did he think he joined- Royal Caribbean? Did he expect to pull into port every few days so everybody could get off, grab a buffet, and enjoy some shore excursions? It’s the military; deployments get extended. plans change. You stay out longer than expected; that comes with the job. I would like to hear from the troops who were kicking in doors, sleeping in the dirt, and getting shot at in Iraq and Afghanistan, and hear how terrible their job was.
If your not up to doing the job maybe you should look for another line of work you are better suited for.
Pure propaganda. <br><br>If cnn was pro USA, they would tell the world how strong and resilient our navy is. Instead, we get this.
I don’t think the military should be recruiting candidates with mental health history.
I’m sorry but he just isn’t made for the military.
propaganda against your own country. you a guy that will say anything and act he controls everything. this is not extended deployment by any means. My da was on a ship in the south pacific in wwii for 2 yrs. mental children are the problem and one of them is announces this traitor bs
It should disqualify you. Holy shit you are nuts you shouldn't be anywhere near nuclear anything
I don’t think he was ever cut out to be a navy man
A ship has metal walls and a lot of people on it. I never knew that.
Let us not sugarcoat this. This is what we put our soldiers through on behalf of Israel
I am very surprised, indeed shocked, that the Navy did not grant special leave for this sailor at such a time as his mothers terminal illness.
while CNN is overly interested in mental health I would like to hear about what food they ate. They don't look they are starving from eating cup of rice for months.
The hard working culture of the military looks down on people who don’t pull their weight? Good. We need less soyboys like this in the military anyways.
Zzzzz<br>BLOW THE SALT OUT OF IT (Seaman on the vessel)
I think people that have SI ideation they do not speak up. If it was confidential it would be reported more.
Thank you for your sacrifice and your service.
Grandpa yapped a lot while barely saying anything
The majority of people aren’t close to folks in the navy and it shows….mental illness is rampant. Our service members need more support
brought to you by the network that hates trump.....
Imagine the mental health of the families of the innocent Iranian civilians they unalived.
Meanwhile, a retired Admiral, who looks like he's been in an Irish Pub for ten years, provides five minutes of administration double-talk and promotional "fluff". smh
I served in the Navy 25 years, was on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2005, it was hard and difficult we did 179 days at sea straight no port of calls an I thought that was rough. What should change is anyone who volunteers for mental health id evaluated by a certified PHD pyscatrist should get immediately removed from the ship and taken to s shore facility for further evaluation and treatment with no retaliation or ramifications to their career. It should be encouraged to ask for help. And people can be replaced at sea. And no one should be working as s nuke under psychiatric medication and no treatment. And making a suicidal claim is nowt a character flaw or weakness it's the ship breaking people, and it can happen to anyone. But being on the ship is not indusive of healthy treatment. And the shits pyscatrist needs to be independent of the chain of command and removed and only answers to BUMED. And what he says goes as far as mental manning goes.
These sailors are weak, complaining mental health smh. But inmates in prison and jail not complaining. Then that little ass room for years and years. 23 hour lockdown. Smh
How about the government offering transparency on what you are fighting for, simple as that. If military service sends you into a depressive spiral instead of bringing out your better qualities and desire to serve others, then something is flawed .
Not taking care of depressed members in the military is a Security problem. Like how is it safe to ignore that and not help them asap even more not bully them even more about it?!!!😱<br>Let alone that any human being seeking help, deserves that 🤷🏻♀️
Tell that to all the men and women from all the wars and operations throughout history. This is not working a AUTOZONE! Good thing General George Patton didn’t get ahold of this sailor. Get out young man
This is sad. But I guess they cant have someone who is mentally ill (even if we know better) in charge of nukes and ammo and such. This just shows how toxic the military is now. 😢 what happened to support and having your comrades back. 😢
Trump doesn’t care
